Life Path Number 7 (Explained!)

Life path numbers are really helpful and important ways of understanding who we are and perhaps why we are the way we are.

Life path number 7 can often be one of the more peripheral and perhaps cryptic to understand.

So, if you are a life path number 7, what does this mean for you?

Life path number 7 is a path which attunes you profoundly to the deeper world around you. You are attuned with the mysteries of life, and you are a dogged seeker of the truth. Nothing matters more to you than the great mystery and spending your life getting to the bottom of it.

Life path number 7 is really quite unique in a sense, then.

It simultaneously makes you more in tune with the deeper world and often can seem less connected to the surface world around you.

In any case, as a life path number 7 you relentlessly pursue an answer to the great mystery—even if that’s only an answer for you.

Let’s find out more.

 

What does it mean to be life path number 7?

Being a life path number 7 is essentially about being in tune with a singular mystery.

It’s a path to the inner world, both of your own mind and of the world around you.

Nothing motivates you more than seeking understanding and trying to disentangle the mysteries of what is around you.

Life itself is a great mystery, and though this isn’t of much importance to the lives of some, to you it is a deeply motivating factor.

Seeking the truth in this manner is a pursuit which can dominate one’s whole life.

This is not to say that you do so at the expense of other aspects of your life—merely that you may spend your whole life in search of a satisfactory answer.

Perfection in an imperfect world, seeking after order in amidst the chaos of the universe.

Wisdom is the keyword here, as distinct from simple knowledge.

Some people know a great deal of things, but that doesn’t make them wise.

You seek to know many things to improve and solidify your understanding—your wisdom.

You wish to truly know and understand the world around you on its own terms, though you may come to your own conclusions.

This often and usually leads to profound empathy for those around you.

You understand that we are all in the same boat and pursuing answers to the same thing, if perhaps in different ways.

So, is it good to be a number 7?

 

Is it good to be a life path number 7?

Well, that of course depends on your definition of good.

Life path numbers are perhaps not best understood in this way.

None of them are good or bad, they just describe your innate nature.

You are like this anyway, and it can be helpful to understand yourself in these terms.

That said, there are certainly benefits to being a life path number 7.

Pursuit of the mystery, as I said, doesn’t mean you neglect other aspects of your life.

It is simply one of the main things that drives you to the completion of your goals.

It also tends to engender a natural empathy.

This can lead to a greater ease in interpersonal relationships, as you recognize that, on some level, we are all seeking after the same thing.

We all want answers or purpose in some way, and its one of the oldest human experiences over which to bond.

Knowing your place in the universe in this way can be hugely beneficial to your outlook and your happiness—so I would say it’s good to be a 7!

 

Who should life path number 7 marry?

7s are both deeply compatible with many other life path numbers, while also having the same extreme on the other end.

While they are very compatible with some, they are deeply incompatible with others.

Not for any malicious reasons—simply the fact that their outlook on the world is very different.

7s are most compatible with types 1, 2, 4 and 5. These work together really well to nurture strong relationships.

You should avoid 3s, 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s.

You will naturally gravitate towards those who share your same curiosity and wonder.

 

What is a good career for life path number 7?

There are many different paths which will work for you.

On the one hand, many 7s enjoy a simple career which allows them space to live the life they want and take the time to pursue their goals.

On the other hand, this curiosity and desire to understand the mystery makes 7s excellent teachers and academics.

You can share the mystery with others, while taking the time in your career to properly study the mystery on an analytical, structural level.

But the curiosity in life’s great mystery often means that number 7s simply want to see their job as supporting their intellectual curiosity outside of work.

 

Life path number 7 is a very different one, then, to say the least.

You are driven less by the demands of this world than you are by the mysteries of the deeper world.

You see the world for perhaps what it truly is: something we can only begin to understand.

Few appreciate the strangeness of what’s around you more than you do, and few make such a life out of pursuing the answers to that strangeness.
